Ahh nope. Thats for Cbr/ZXR old 4 pot 250's. THis is for 250 twins (kawasaki, hyosung ect). These are streetstock legal beasts. Slowly starting to make the rounds.

rules can be found in CH22 of MNZ rules book. http://www.motorcyclingnz.co.nz/download/Street_Stock_250cc_4_Stroke_Twins.pdf

Ummm

Classification for entry to “Mini Lite 250” is:
250cc Multi Cylinder (2 or more), four stroke, production based machines


I'll take your word for CH22 of MNZ Rule book. Too late to look it up... But I guess it allows for less mods??

Ironically enough, the guy who set up the Minilite rules actually works in the Kawasaki Shop in Wellington....

I might as well take this opportunity to announce a Partnership with Northwest Motorcycles here in New Plymouth,
for me to ride a Hyosung GT250r (carb model) this season.

I will be at Manfield next weekend riding it (for the first time on track) as a demo against the 4 cylinder 250's, which will be a difficult ask. But we look forward to helping build this Pro lites class in NZ.

Sponsors will be :
Northwest Motorcycles (http://www.northwest.co.nz/)
DP Brakes
Motorex oils

See you out there!

Again, Minilites is for MULTI cylinder bikes, ie 2 or more.

And YES, they do run the class in both VMCC and PMCC rounds.

Now, Racey Racer is at the National round next weekend, so, unsure what classes they have going.... Most likely all the usual VMCC classes.

Hey, I'm just helping out on the day. Not much to do with the organising of it prior....

It'll be good to see a Hyosung out there side by side with some good existing Streetstock bikes.
Through the 9 races of Streetstock in the SI Nationals the two Kawasakis went really well. Seth Devereux
(Kawasaki EX250) won two races at Teretonga, one by a tiny margin from Johnny Small. Seth is an
awesome rider, so is Johnny, but I'd pick the EX as about 98% of an RG in terms of all round
competitiveness. Where will the Hysosung fit in?

May as well let the cat out of the bag;;; sold the ZXR400 after six years of racing in F3 and Post Classics, had some great races and a lot of FUN,

So now going to have some more fun.

I'am now building up a 2008 GT250R HYOSUNG for this years "Production Light" series, this will become a great class i belive as the costs don't go overboard, close racing, lots of fun and a crowd pleaser.

So any of you younger or newbies wanting to get into the Racing scene this will be the class for you, the more the merrier will lots of FUN.

Pm: me if you want help to start, or get into Racing

How did you come to this conclusion? Have you even been to America? You should see the huge number of crotch rockets (especially Hireabusses and GSXR's) being punted around here.
Korean Hyandai (sp) cars were looked down on when they appeared here a few years ago now you see shit loads of them every day, not a bad car actually. Maybe the Hyosung might see the same results.
